I was a wrestler, cross-country runner and played baseball all through high school.  Wow looking back at it I’ve really let my self go :)   I doubt I’ll ever be in good enough shape again to run cross-country but perhaps I can shed enought pounds to bend over and field a softball or two.  Anyway its a first step towards improving my health and losing weight.  More updates to come as I catch my breath. LOL

After talking with him I discovered that he went through an intense weight loss program sponsored by the local hospital that was covered by our health insurance program.  His weight loss program consisted of an initial 6 week liquid diet , exercise program and weekly physicals by the doctors administering his weight loss program.  Unlike him I’m not quite that heavy yet but if I don’t change my lifestyle I can see myself getting there.  Now I’m not sure i’m thrilled with the idea of a 6 week liquid diet as I love to eat!!!  I might be better off just changing my eating habits by cutting out sweets, fatty foods and stick with more low cal type items like veggies.  YUCKKK   I hate veggies but I know fruits and vegetables will have to be a huge part of my diet if I plan on avoiding that weight loss program that consists of  a  week liquid diet.  I really cant imagine drinking my breakfast, lunch and dinner but hey different strokes for different folks I guess.
